120:1089–1097. [this study reports the development of a novel restorer line (NR1) for cytoplasmic male sterility system involving 36 fertile somatic hybrid plants derived from protoplast fusion of S. arvensis and B. napus and testcrossed with Nsa CMS plants (derived from crosses between B. napus and S. arvensis and sterile); this study examined resistance to Sclerotinia sclerotinium and pod shattering resistance; S. arvensis was used as male donor and primary restorer; F1 hybrids had 1-5% of sterility indicating the loss or addition of chromosomes; after four years of selection of the two restorer lines, one showed better agronomic performance (NR1); hybrids between NR1 and Nsa CMS plants showed that F1 hybrids had potential commercial use].
